IN THE LANE.

And art thou then, my heart too old
Ever to leap with love again,
To feel the strong blood torrent rolled
Through heaving breast and teeming
brain? :
lis it no more, my heart, for thee
Lilies one unquestioned ecstacy?
Are faded quite those dim, far DAYS
w hen music inothered every sound,
<When up. and clown youths happy ways
Fared glories on eternal round?
!, Has chill OF years killed every joy
That blossolned for the wandering how?
Inese are the trees once known so we'll
We felt to them all but beknown;
Ihelr very shadow we could tell
From others by the forest thrown,
Ihe same glad songs from bush and bough-
AS once we heard, we hear them now.
I And these sweet flowers beneath my feet,
The hope, therel Still they think to meet
Her glance that shall not answer more;
TO us alone it cannot be
They re looking up 40 tenderly.
This is the same gray path we took
Behind the slowly y-going day;
AS they do now, the light leaves shook
When evening breezes blew this way
And there's the glow upon the dome,
All, no, good heart, thou still canst stir,
Still lives the love first bid thee leap:
Still are we at the side of her
They laid away meath yonder steep.
Though clods be on her and a stone,
In the dear old lane we're not alone.

OVER THE GREEN CLOTH.
Luck Of Three Well.Known Gamblers Of Chicago
Town.


Town.
Gambling aourishes in Chicago as it
never fourished before. Now and then
we hear OF raid on a poker game,
negro craps game, or Chinese bung
loo joint, but the big faro banks, with
their Incidental conveniences for roul
cite, chuckaluck, stud poker and short
cards are allowed to run along undis-
turbed by the police. Some rather
brisk adventures are recorded in con-
nection with the experiences of the
great throng who seek the bubble for
tune even at the tigers jaws. Into
Clark street resort, q day or two
ago, came old Dywer Smith, grizzled
veteran OF the field of the cloth ofgreen,
who is part proprietor OF a faro bank
or West Madison. Smith had a roll oil
5000, the joint property of himself
and partner, and he had come over
the river to "make a play" Having
flashed his bundle and announced his
intention, Smith requested that the
table be cleared and himself left to en-.
ter the jungle single-handed and alone.
This was done and he sat down with
casekeeper and tab, and the duel began.
Smith, WHO'S q cool, daring, desperate
player, after three hours got up from
the table with a little over $4,000 oi
the banks money. His next move
was to go back to his own place and
report the results to his partner-Ha.

en- up for the whole business?'
And this is what they did-old
sledge, best three games out of five
games. Dwyer Smith lost three
straight games, and inside of ten min
utes he had not q dollar to show for
his big play, while Hagan was $4,000
richer. Hagan took the first train for
New Orleans, and is now having cor.
geous winter picnic.
An odd episode occurred recently,
in which a "skin'; gambler named
Sanders made a remarkable plunge.
He had just finished modest meal in
Boyle's chop house, and had paid his
last nickel to the cashier, when he no.
CASoA eV SOulltOAAClO SliftI OOudE WHICH
had deen taken in during the day.
Whats that dollar doing there, all
by ITSELF" he asked.
"Cause it's a counterfeit" said the
cashier.
Sanders asked for and obtained the
worthless coin, and with it steered
straight for the nearest faro bank.
He put it on the ace-tray, and those
cards won four times for him. The
dealer had failed to notice that the
dollar was bogus, and in a very short
time Sanders cashed in $l21 and quit
playing. For the odd dollar hereceiv-
ed back the Identical coin with which
he had started to play. With singu.
lar fatuity he refused to receive this
particular piece of money because it
was a counterfeit. The result was to
draw attention to the fact that he
had won $12O without risking cent,
and the irate dealer and his assistants
forthwith jumped on the young man
and took every penny away from him,
not even letting him get away with the
original counterfeit dollar.

solicitors, asked to-day by me to
give the reason for the sale, firmly but cour-

be inferred. Generally speaking, the articles
are of large value and many possess great
historical interest. The terms OF sale ins

LIBRARY AT AUCTION.
On the same day, and also through next
week, at another great action mart, is to be
offered the library of the Earl of Crawford.
1t contains many rare works relating to the
early history of America. The auctioneer
assured your correspondent that there are
agent bidders here from Boston, New York,
Chicago and Colorado. Dispatch Agent B.
+. Stevens also has American orders; so
have Trubner and Quortich. There are 2, las
lots and yet these represent only the first por-
tiOn of the library lot. Crawford Is
perhaps best known in the United States
as the late president of the Royal astronomi.
cal society. One hundred choice lots are in
the American division. Among these are

dated Rome, 149l; rare collection Of the
voyages of Vesputio (l507), letter (l5O2) of
his giving an account to Lorenzo Demedicis

early editions of the Bible, also fifty-three
rare works on and collections of early music.
